How Writing Can Help Improve Pronunciation

“When writing, you're using the language a lot more intentionally than when you’re speaking.” - Judith Meyer Have you ever been put off learning a new language because it uses a different writing system to your first language? If so, you’re not alone. Judith Meyer says learning to write in a new language can seem daunting - especially if it uses a different script. But she claims writing is the key to improving your spoken language and finding more joy in conversations with native speakers. Judith, known as the German Polyglot, is the inventor of the Script Hacking method, a system which makes learning different writing systems easy. Judith speaks 14 languages and is behind both Learnlangs.com and The Polyglot Gathering.“When writing, you're using the language a lot more intentionally than when you’re speaking.” - Judith Meyer Have you ever been put off learning a new language because it uses a different writing system to your first language?
